In the arid regions of the Middle East, water is a precious commodity, symbolizing life and sustenance. The Hebrew root for "bring" (הָבִיא) implies an active, intentional effort to supply what is necessary. This act of compassion reflects the biblical principle of loving one's neighbor and offering hospitality, as seen in Matthew 25:35, where Jesus commends those who give drink to the thirsty. The call to "bring water" is a timeless reminder of our duty to care for others, especially in their most vulnerable moments.

Tema is reasonably identified with the modern Taima, a village of the Hauran, on the caravan route between Palmyra and Peira. Its inhabitants are exhorted to bring water to the thirsty Dedanites, as they pass along this route with their "travelling companies." (For other mentions of Tome, which must not be confounded with Teman, see Job 6:19 and Jeremiah 25:23.) They prevented with their bread him that fled. Several commentators take this clause as imperative, like the last, and render, "With his bread meet the fugitive;" but the existing Hebrew text seems to require the rendering of the Authorized Version. Dr. Kay understands the prophet to mean that the men of Tema did not need exhortation; already of their own accord had they given of their bread to the fugitive Dedanites.Parallel Commentaries ...
